Not easy, never easy
All the more if you're selfless
At least you're educated
It can always be worse, don't let it get there and keep growing, searching, connecting

How altruistic of you...
Are you planning on taking your own advice or is simply warning others a satisfactory course of action in the face of all your failures??
OP I know the feeling
But my story is different, because I'm following what I want to do. But sometimes I think that I basically acomplished nothing. And I get in those mental confrontantion about what I really been doing with my life.
I'm 25 and I never wanted to be a workahollic white collar. So I decided to follow my artist dream (I can't work at no fast food joint, I got some talent)
But I start thinking about the future. I actually got a good daily job BUT id don't pay enough to pay rent etc etc so I live with my parents. It sucks because a nikka cant live his whole life with his parents, even it being 2016 and my parents being cool af.
Unfortunely my daily weed habit don't make money so I wonder if really some day my artist carrer will launch and I conclude that I am LOST af.
But what I learned so far is that focus is everything. You should focus on one professional choice and slowly build from it. Easier said than done but I think that's the mindset

not hating, but I found this quote interesting, cuz you can't use this historically
since I cant say that the universe rewarded my ascestors, and I know damn well they worked A LOT
Fam, barring anything out of the ordinary, like being born into wealth or a fortunate series of events leading to wealth (athlete, celebrity, lottery, and so forth), you were born to be another employee number. I can't believe you didn't realize this by age 21 at the latest.

Most people know what to do, they just don't want to do it because its uncomfortable.
That's life for you. The mistake most in your boat who're somewhat early bloomers in seeing some early form of success make is that, you tend to coast and think things will continue to follow in an upward trajectory. Rather than make the best out of that opportunity and create something you can build on. Then when life strikes and you become stagnated for a few years before going downwards - depression always creep in as you see everyone else move past you.
I've been there and done that. From age 19-22, I was living the life and I thought I'd be a millionaire by age 24 max. and things were going to keep getting better. Till life struck and took me to a very dark place for a few years. I had to change environment to a new location and start from the scratch - to rediscover myself and the drive I need to succeed. And things have shaped up better since then.
The rollercoaster that life is for you right there. There's no smooth sailing and coasting in life because even the rich also cry. It's to going to throw everything at you, including kitchen sink, you just need to keep rediscovering/reinventing yourself whenever that happens - to stay afloat. You might need a change of environment to get yourself back on track. And it's never too late to start. You're still young and you can still live your dreams.
Only the strong survive in the game of life. Feeling sorry for yourself and Lamentations about how broken you're won't solve your problems. It's just going to keep complicating things as days, weeks, months, and years go by. Just create a plan, rediscover the will/drive to succeed, and keep banging.

If you Don't know your purpose, Discover it, Now
Without a conscious life-purpose a man is totally lost, drifting, adapting to events rather than creating events. Without knowing his life-purpose a man lives a weakened, impotent existence, perhaps eventually becoming even sexually Impotent, or prone to mechanical and disinterested sex.
The core of your life is your purpose. Everything in your life, from your diet to your career, must be aligned with your purpose if you are to act with coherence and integrity in the world. If you know your purpose, your deepest desire, then the secret of success is to discipline your life so that you support your deepest purpose and minimize distractions and detours.
But if you don't know your deepest desire, then youc ant align your life to it. Everything in your life is dissociated from your core. You go to work, but since its not connected to your deepest purpose, it is just a job, a way to earn money. You go through your daily round with your family and friends, but each moment is just another in a long string of moments, going nowhere, not inherently profound.
Disconnected from your core, you feel weak. This empty feeling will undermine not only your "erection" in the world, but your erection with your woman, too.
However, when you know your rue purpose, which is your core desire in life, each moment can become a full expression of your core desire.
Every instant of career, every instant of intimacy, is filled with the power of your heart purpose. You are no longer just going through the motions at work and with your woman, but you are living the truth of your life, and giving the gifts of your love, moment by moment. Such a life is complete unto itself in every instant.
The superior man is not seeking fulfillment through work and women, but he is already full. For him, work and intimacy are opportunities to give his gifts, and e vanished in the bliss of the giving.

TROLL IS LIFE
I feel the same way but it's just a bad way to look at life like am I being cynical? But I kind of realized this about a year-and-a-half two years ago I actually like my job in my line of work but I just know I'll be an employee probably for the rest of my life unless I really get into this real estateFam, barring anything out of the ordinary, like being born into wealth or a fortunate series of events leading to wealth (athlete, celebrity, lottery, and so forth), you were born to be another employee number.

No, you chose to be another employee number, you weren't born into it.
The power of choices.
